Dallas Cowboys practice report Friday: LBs Sean Lee, Bruce Carter out

IRVING — Dallas Cowboys middle linebacker Sean Lee, the team leader in tackles and interceptions, wasn’t seen during the early part of practice Friday at Valley Ranch.

Lee had been limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday after having to leave Monday night’s game at Chicago with a strained neck. Lee had missed back-to-back games with a strained hamstring before returning to play the Bears on Monday.

Also not practicing Friday for the Cowboys: weak-side linebacker Bruce Carter, cornerback Morris Claiborne and wide receiver Dwayne Harris. All three players have strained hamstrings and aren’t expected to play Sunday against Green Bay.

Justin Durant was working in Lee’s place at middle linebacker in practice Friday. Durant has missed the last three games with a strained hamstring.

Ernie Sims has worked at first-team weak-side linebacker in practice this week in place of Carter.

Carter and Claiborne were working in the Cowboys’ weight room during practice. Harris and defensive lineman Tyrone Crawford were on the practice field Friday working on the side with resistance cords with a Dallas athletic trainer.
